ALMA-SOL-IMG Workshop 2

We are pleased to announce the Second International Workshop on Solar Imaging with ALMA, to take place on November 3-5, 2021. Building on the first workshop, held in 2020, this workshop will continue to develop best practices in data calibration and will address several advanced topics, including the combination of single dish and interferometric data, problems raised by the use of a heterogeneous array, observations of the solar limb, and time domain challenges. The workshop will be fully virtual with daily online presentations and discussions.
While this workshop is primarily directed towards experienced users who have actively worked on processing and analyzing solar observations with ALMA, anyone who is interested in learning how to effectively process solar data is encouraged to participate. 

Topics

• Experience with processing solar ALMA data
• Combination of INT and SD data (TPVIS/SDINT)
• Primary beam correction for heterogeneous array
• Limb observations
• Time domain and alignment 
• Observing mode development

Workshop schedule

Given the large differences in time zones of the expected participants, we plan to limit the online sessions to two hours (13:00-15:00UT) during the workshop days. The aim is to use the online sessions for discussions based on the presentations and related posters. The last workshop day will also address priorities for future observing and processing capabilities.

Poster contributions

• Yi Chai: Modeling of sunspot umbral oscillations in sub-bands of ALMA band 3
